Bollywood is no stranger to breakups and controversies, but few know that Ajay Devgn and Raveena Tandon, one of its iconic on-screen pairs, were also dating in real life. Over the years, many popular Bollywood couples have sparked curiosity with their on-screen chemistry, only to later reveal they were romantically involved off-screen as well, adding to the allure and intrigue surrounding their personal and professional lives. There were reports suggesting that Raveena Tandon struggled to cope with their breakup and even considered extreme measures like suicide. However, Ajay Devgn dismissed these claims in an interview, calling them untrue and labeling her a liar.
In a 2000 interview with Filmfare, Ajay Devgn clarified his relationship with Raveena Tandon, stating that she was merely a friend of his sister and that they were never personally close. Addressing rumors about Raveena’s alleged suicide attempt, Ajay dismissed them outright, calling it nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Ajay said in the interview, "Everyone knows that she is a born liar, that's why her silly statements don't upset me too much. But, this time she has gone too far, she has crossed the limits of decency."
"It's high time I gave her some advice. This girl must go to a psychiatrist immediately to get her head examined. Otherwise, she will land up in a lunatic asylum. I'm quite willing to accompany her to the shrink's office," he further added.
Ajay Devgn and Raveena Tandon were romantically linked in 1994 while working together in Dilwale, sparking widespread speculation in the tabloids. Their rumored relationship became the talk of the town, but things took a dramatic turn when Ajay allegedly left Raveena for Karisma Kapoor. Following their highly publicized split, the former couple engaged in a bitter exchange of words, making headlines with their feud.
While Raveena Tandon’s relationship with Akshay Kumar was widely known in the ’90s, not many are aware that she was also deeply in love with Ajay Devgn at one point. However, during that era, rumors swirled that Ajay ended things with Raveena after allegedly falling for another actress.

Reports at the time suggested that Ajay Devgn and Raveena Tandon's breakup led to a heated fallout, with tensions escalating between the two. Some speculations even claimed that Raveena was so deeply affected by the split that she attempted to take an extreme step.
Both Ajay and Raveena have moved on and are happily settled in their personal lives. Ajay is married to Kajol, and together they have two children. Raveena, on the other hand, is married to Anil Thadani and has four children: Rasha Thadani, Pooja Tandon, Chhaya Tandon, and Ranbir Thadani.
